Ms Pleming said the community had been working for years to create a space for local events.

At the moment Deiniolen has small venues, but none big enough to host larger gatherings.

She explained how the new centre would allow concerts, gigs and cultural events like eisteddfodau to take place in the village.

Ms Pleming said it was a surprise and a thrill to hear of Sir Dave’s donation.

“We were amazed to tell the truth that there is a boy who travels the world, mixes with the greats of the sports world, still remembers his roots, still remembers his community,” she added.
